Marriyum supports ECP’s decision for postponing elections
Canada Global (Web News) The decision of the Electoral Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to postpone the election is in the best interests of the nation, according to Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, taking into consideration the economic, political, and security scenario.
On Thursday, the minister released a statement regarding the ECP’s choice to delay the Punjab elections scheduled for April 30 to October 8.
According to Marriyum, the ECP is required under Article 218 of the Constitution to ensure free, impartial, and transparent elections. When elections are taking place, caretaker setups are mandated under Article 224 in both the centre and the provinces. She predicted that two provinces would have functioning governments by the time the National Assembly elections were held.
In that case, she asserted, elections held in two provinces would be contentious. She added that the move will ensure political stability in the nation and that the ECP had consulted all relevant parties before deciding to postpone elections.
She believes that the ECP has prevented the nation from experiencing a constitutional crisis.
According to Marriyum Aurangzeb, the nation was conducting a population census. Elections cannot be held before the census is complete, she continued.
She asserted that two provinces cannot be forced to have elections at the whim of a single guy. She came to the conclusion that the will of one man could not dominate the constitution.

Mr. Khan made fun of his political rivals by asserting that “Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari are international criminals”.

I strongly advise the personnel to maintain their composure.
Mr. Khan expressed his concerns about the “delay in polls” and added, “The rulers will try to knock the PTI out of the race of elections since they fear that by holding the elections, politics will come to an end.

Lahore court allows police to take Fawad Chaudhry to Islamabad
Canada Global (Web News) Lahore court on Wednesday gave police permission to transport PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry to Islamabad hours after he was taken into custody from his home for making offensive remarks about the country’s highest election body.
The PTI leader was arrested early on Wednesday morning after being charged under sections 153A, 506, and 124 A of the Pakistan Penal Code in response to a complaint made by the secretary of the Election Commission of Pakistan, Umer Hameed. At 10 a.m., police brought Mr. Chaudhry in handcuffs to the Rana Muddasir court and asked for a one-day transit remand because they wanted to transfer him to Islamabad because the case had been filed at the Kohsar police station.
The PTI leader claimed security had been set up in a certain way as a “terrorist” was being brought before the court, adding that he was not aware of the accusations made against him. In addition, he exhorted citizens to protest in the streets. He said that Nelson Mandela, a former president of South Africa, had also been arrested in a sedition case.
The former minister of information asked the judge Rana Mudassir during the hearing for a copy of the FIR filed against him, and the request was granted. His attorney argued against the transit remand, claiming there was no need for it because the trip from Lahore to Islamabad only took four hours.
He argued that police should transport his client right away to the federal capital so they may appear in court.
Additionally, the PTI leader said that he has petitioned the Lahore High Court (LHC) to end his wrongful arrest. He asked the judge to delay rendering a decision on the transit remand plea until the LHC rendered its ruling.

TikTok on ‘high alert’ in Malaysia as political tension rise.
Canada Global (Web News) After authorities issued a warning about a surge in ethnic animosity on social media following an unsatisfactory general election, the short video platform TikTok announced on Wednesday that it was on high alert for content that violated its criteria in Malaysia.
After the election on Saturday, there was an unprecedented hung parliament because neither of the two competing alliances was able to win enough seats to form a government.
According to a statement released by TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, “We continue to be on high alert and will aggressively remove any violative content.”
Since the run-up to the election, TikTok claimed that it has been in touch with Malaysian authorities regarding serious and persistent violations of its community guidelines.
An coalition led by the former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin that is conservative and primarily ethnic Malay is one of the groups aiming to establish a government.
The PAS (Malaysian Islamic Party), which has pushed for a rigorous application of sharia Islamic religious law, is among them. Concerns have been raised by its political victories in a nation where the majority of the ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities practise other religions.
The Democratic Action Party, a predominantly ethnic Chinese party that has historically been unpopular with voters from the majority Malay community, is part of the other alliance vying for power, which is led by veteran opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. The Democratic Action Party is also one of the more multi-ethnic, progressive parties in this alliance.
Since the election, social media users have reported multiple TikTok posts that discussed a riot that occurred in the nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, on May 13, 1969, during which 200 or so people died, only days after opposition parties backed by Chinese voters made gains in an election.
According to TikTok, which has “zero tolerance” for hate speech and violent extremism, videos featuring May 13-related content that breached its community guidelines have been removed.
TikTok refused to disclose how many postings it had taken down or how many complaints it had received.
After several parents complained that their kids had been exposed to inappropriate content, it told Reuters that it will delete any accounts held by people under the age of 13.
